how can i rename multiple files at once code example

Example 1: cmd rename multiple files

# EXAMPLE: add "_zzz" to the name of each file found within the "G:\Deletable\" folder
for /d %F in ("G:\Deletable\*") do rename "%F" "%~nF_zzz%~xF"

# SYNTAX

REM # (2) Rename files (not folders) in the current folder and its subfolders

REM # | EXAMPLE (1) 
REM # | ---------------------------------------------------------------
REM # | Replace ")" with "_" within the filenames in the current folder only    

@echo off
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
set "pattern_to_replace=("
set "replace_text=_"

for %%N in ("*") do (
   set "InitName=%%N"
   call set NewName=%%InitName:!pattern_to_replace!=!replace_text!%%

   if NOT !InitName!==!NewName! (
      echo rename "!InitName!" "!NewName!" 
      rename "!InitName!" "!NewName!"
   )
